Will it work? Surely I can still take them to court and argue the forced arbitration is part of my grievance. IANAL but surely one can argue that removing the judicial system from anything is illegal?

Hipchat should have stuck gone the opposite, and made their policy explicitly: "1-to-1 is private". Mimic the real workplace, I have a 1-1 meeting with someone, it isn't recorded (usually). It's annoying, because it puts

I didn't say that, at all. I suggest you re-read. To clarify for those that are a bit slow(er): Their development skills convinced me they were good developers, their social skills just correlated.

I think that is just poor stereotyping. Most of the software developers I've worked with in my career have had very good social skills, those that didn't, were poor developers as well... So are they bad negotiators because of they

But your company has no value, so how many shares does your 100k salary buy? Do you compare that with other investors? What if you have no other investors? If it were me, I'd force the founder to take the salary before I gave them mor

They don't block the event loop, no. But they do remove callbacks and thus asynchronity from libraries. i.e aws-sdk S3.putObject(..., function callback(result){}) would become (with _wrapAsync): result = S3.putObjectSync

In meteor it is synchronous. If something in node is async, you have to wrap it up with _wrapAsync, else meteor explodes. Once it is wrapped, it is no longer async, your code will block until the (internal) callback is called, then it will
